Rolex Submariner: Profound Confidence

The Oyster Perpetual Submariner and the Oyster Perpetual Submariner Date—the archetypal divers’ watches—embody the historic bond between Rolex and the exploration of the deep sea. Launched in 1953, the Submariner was the first divers’ wristwatch waterproof to a depth of 330 feet (100 meters). The Submariner Date, which features a date function in addition to the time, was introduced in 1969. The water resistance of both models was subsequently increased to 1,000 feet (300 meters). Thanks to their renowned robustness, these timepieces have transcended the depths of the ocean to become the preferred choice for a wide range of other sports and activities.
